Your Ultimate Goal

Ive been reading a few of your goals on your Sigs n its brilliant to see so many that have already been achieved!

I was trying to think of a few of my own, but then I got thinking "What is my Ultimate Goal?" and to be honest I dont know, sure I'd love to be able to actually buy clothes from River Island but I dont know at what point ill be able to think to myself "Yay Ive done it" obv im not just reffering to my Goal Weight.

I just want to get to a healthy weight to help manage some health issues I have, wearing smaller clothes is a bonus

Restart Goals1. Get to day 4 restart successfullyarty0011:2. Get 1st st off arty0011:3. Get 10% of weight off arty0011:4. Fit into size 14arty0011:5. Get 2nd st off6. Get under 25 BMI7. Fit into size 128. Get 3rd st off9. Fit into size 1010. Maintain

My goal is to have a body fat in the 'fitness' range and to be slap bang in the middle of my BMI acceptable range. However, when I set this goal I realised it was something like 98lbs I'd have lost in total if I reached it. So, I turned my goal into a lost of 100lbs for the sake of OCD.

My goal is to see a new starting number on the scales i.e from 18st something to 17 st something etc, I can't think much beyond that because it's all so far away for me, but my summer holiday in August is a huge motivator because I don't want to look like a beached whale this year.

I'm at the 16st something stage at the mo and I really want to get to the 15's because that will give me a huge buzz.

I guess I have two Ultimate Goals. One is to feel 'normal' about food. I'd like to see it just as energy, rather than something to be consumed as quickly as possible/something to cheer me up/an enemy that I can't resist. I think I'm on the way to that one because of CD and a lot of introspection!

The other, more superficial one (but still very important to me) is to be slim for my wedding next year. I feel very self conscious at the moment and it's taking the shine off the excitement. I want to be excited but I have all these nasty nagging thoughts -- "Will I get a dress to look nice on me?" "Everyone will be looking at me." "I'll have yucky fat photos."

Funny though -- those were not the reasons I started CD. The main reason I started was because of my health!

My reasons were for health and self esteem/vanity. Healthwise I want to by physically fit and also deal with the mental stuff about my relationship with food. I am getting there I think. I no longer go off and have a binge if I go slightly off piste. So I am getting nearer to achieving that goal, though the real test will be when I stop CD altogether. My other goals, self esteem, vanity etc change from week to week. Each time I lose a bit of weight I think gosh I can keep going perhaps I will get to a size 8 to 10 again? (I'd be happy to get to a size 10 for my 5ft 2ish frame). I still can't beleive I have lost weight, it feels almost surreal despite the evidence of loose clothes etc. Guess it is time to have a full length photo taken.
